Teva, Granules and Heritage metformin
If you bought generic metformin made by Teva, Granules, or Heritage between July 20, 2015 and June 2, 2020, you need to file a claim by July 10, 2026 to get any money from this $5.55 million settlement. Filing isn't automatic, so you have to act before the deadline.
You may be included if you paid any amount of money for a metformin-containing drug intended for personal or household use that was manufactured, distributed, or sold by Teva, Granules, or Heritage from 2015-07-20 through 2020-06-02; third-party payors are included if they paid or reimbursed some or all of the purchase price. Exclusions include Settling Defendants and affiliates, certain governmental entities, resale purchasers, direct purchasers from Settling Defendants or affiliates, fully insured health plans, pharmaceutical benefit managers, the judges and immediate families, and anyone who properly excludes themselves. Payout: $5.55 million total settlement ($3 million from Teva; $2.55 million from Granules and Heritage). Individual payout amounts unknown at this time; distributions will be pro-rata after deduction of taxes, administrative costs, legal fees, and court-approved awards. Proof of purchase is optional. Claim deadline: July 10, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 13, 2026.
Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
You're covered if you personally paid for a generic metformin-containing drug manufactured, distributed, or sold by Teva, Granules, or Heritage between July 20, 2015 and June 2, 2020, and you bought it for personal or household use. Third-party payors (like employers or union health funds that reimbursed the cost) are also included. You're out if you bought it for resale, bought directly from the manufacturers, are a fully insured health plan, a pharmaceutical benefit manager, or a federal government entity.

How hard is this claim to file?
What the form asks
- Purchase details (quantity and amount paid for metformin) — How much metformin you purchased and what you paid for it. (Pharmacy receipts, insurance EOBs, or prescription records.)
Documents you'll need
- Pharmacy receipts, insurance explanation of benefits (EOB), or prescription records for metformin purchases
Watch out for
- This settlement covers only financial overpayment. Personal injury and wrongful death claims are not part of it.
- Individual payouts are unknown right now. How much you get depends on how many valid claims are filed and the Court-approved Plan of Allocation.
- The lawsuit keeps going against Amneal and Walmart — this settlement is only with Teva, Granules, and Heritage.
- There are two separate settlement funds: $3 million from Teva and $2.55 million from Granules and Heritage. If you bought from both manufacturers, you can file under both funds.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

Common questions
Is the Teva, Granules and Heritage metformin settlement legitimate?

Data, Ltd. under case 20-cv-02334-MCA-MAH in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. File only through the official settlement website (inremetforminsettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 13, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.
Who may qualify for this settlement?
You may be included if you paid any amount of money for a metformin-containing drug intended for personal or household use that was manufactured, distributed, or sold by Teva, Granules, or Heritage from 2015-07-20 through 2020-06-02; third-party payors are included if they paid or reimbursed some or all of the purchase price. Exclusions include Settling Defendants and affiliates, certain governmental entities, resale purchasers, direct purchasers from Settling Defendants or affiliates, fully insured health plans, pharmaceutical benefit managers, the judges and immediate families, and anyone who properly excludes themselves.
How much can I get from the Teva, Granules and Heritage metformin settlement?
$5.55 million total settlement ($3 million from Teva; $2.55 million from Granules and Heritage). Individual payout amounts unknown at this time; distributions will be pro-rata after deduction of taxes, administrative costs, legal fees, and court-approved awards. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.
What is the claim deadline?
The claim deadline is July 10, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.
Do I need proof to claim?
Proof requirement: Optional. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.
Where is the official Teva, Granules and Heritage metformin claim form?
The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, A.B. Data, Ltd.. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
What was wrong with the metformin?
The lawsuit claims these generic metformin drugs were contaminated with NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) and didn't meet FDA standards, even though they were marketed as equivalent to brand-name Glucophage. The companies deny wrongdoing, and no court has ruled against them — the settlement is a compromise to avoid a trial.
Do I need proof of purchase to file?
No. You can file without any documentation. If you have pharmacy receipts, insurance statements, or prescription records, you can include them, and they may affect how your claim is calculated.
What's the deadline to file?
July 10, 2026. Claims submitted after that date won't be accepted.
How much will I actually get?
That's not known yet. Your payment depends on how much metformin you purchased and how many valid claims are submitted in total. The money is divided proportionally after costs are deducted from the $5.55 million fund.
Does this lawsuit cover health problems from taking the drug?
No. This settlement only covers economic losses — meaning money you paid for drugs that allegedly didn't meet safety standards. Personal injury and wrongful death claims are not part of this case.
